Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University Vice-Chancellor Mahesh Verma has been nominated as a member of the National Medical Commission from Delhi, the varsity said in a statement.
Dr Verma was instrumental in turning the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences from an ordinary dental school into a Centre of Excellence by his "able guidance and administration", it added.
"Dr Verma spent his energy and effort in sensitising the government and society at a time when people were not aware of the role dentistry could play in the healthcare and the modern magnitude of science," the varsity said.
He is also a recipient of coveted awards like Padma Shri and B C Roy Award for his outstanding contributions in the field of medicine.
